Importance of clear vision

I wear glasses….didn’t know if you all knew that. My vision was always really great until I started working on a computer everyday back when I graduated from college. I began to notice headaches more often and trouble seeing traffic signs. I went into get checked and was stunned at the crystal clear difference a new pair of glasses had on my vision. Everything was so clear! Made a huge difference for me.

So when I had kiddos….and they started Kindergarten I took them in to get their eyes checked. My bear wears glasses. Although keeping glasses on an active Kindergarten proved to be a lot of work. He mainly wore them just to school. He stills wears glasses and it is still hard to keep track of them….but we have 4 pairs so usually we can find one of them!

Some things to really think about when it comes to you and your families vision…

Annual eye exams – such as the VSP Vision Care WellVision Exam® – are important to your overall health. They allow VSP eye doctors to detect early signs of health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, among others.
As you get ready for your child to go back to school, don’t forget that getting them an annual eye exam can help them learn and experience life to the fullest.
Parents should take their children to the eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam starting as young as six months old, then again at three years old, before kindergarten and every year after that.
In-school screenings do not provide the same level of detection as comprehensive eye exams.
80 percent of what we learn is through our eyes, making this an essential for your back-to-school “to do” list.
